drm_sched_stop() does not wait for a threaded handler that is already running. Call synchronize_irq() after it, outside job_lock, which the handler takes. Before the sync, mask the block's interrupt and clear its raw status, so that an active core cannot signal a completion after it. Do that under job_lock, since rocket_job_hw_submit() arms the same mask under that lock, and only when pm_runtime_get_if_active() returns a positive count: the reset holds no runtime PM reference, and with the domain down a register access takes an async SError. Igor Paunovic's induced-reset runs on RK3588, including a two-task job that puts hw_submit() on the IRQ thread, found no fault; as he put it, "this does not show the race is closed".
